Celebration of water through the artistry of dance, brought together 26 states and over one hundred institutions from professionals to preschoolers. To celebrate is “to bring attention to” and that is the goal of National Water Dance, engaging audiences as well as artists in the environmental issues of their communities. Dancers, musicians, poets, visual artists around the US joined in a simultaneous performance at 4:00PM EST on Saturday, April 14. Dancers perform choreography unique to their location with common phrases created and shared via the Internet. National Water Dance is a bridge to the environment through dance and a bridge across the United States in activating our common goal of protecting our waters.
